European Naive Art , Copenhagen6th October – 18th November 2012
Aimo Katajainen, Finland Born in 1948 in Valkeala, Finland. In my mid-fourties I became interested in naivism and started to paint with acrylics , so I have slowly became a self dedicated naïve artist. After the exhibitions in my own “Summer Gallery”, “Upstairs” gallery in Kotka and some of Kouvola nearby held exhibitions I got invited to a naïve art exhibition in Miami, USA. This was followed by solo exhibitions in Landerneau and Brest in Brittany, France. Soon I became invited to the annual exhibitions in Galeria Eboli and finally to a number of naïve art exhibitions throughout Europe. In these exhibitions I have got many friends and acquaintances of Europe´s best naïve artists.
